so i should be the last person to feel badly for speaker boehner. but he really is in a tough situation. he thought he had a plan last week. he had to pull it from a vote because he couldn't corral his own party. now you have republicans and democrats meeting in the senate. the democrats have a majority. it's much easier for them to get a deal there. then it's got to go to the house and boehner is in a really awkward position. does he call a vote on a senate bill that is not supported by a majority of republicans and stand there very weakened as he depends on the democratic minority to join with a minority of republicans to pass a bill? nobody is running against him for speaker. but he's obviously been very much weakened and -- i'm sorry. conservatives outside the party are calling the shots. >> kelly: so he's facing his own cliff, his personal cliff. if you will, the republicans have not -- conservative republicans have not vote ford a tax hike since 1990. what impact will this have on president obama, do you think? >> well, i was only laughing bec

i think boehner has been more flexible. he just doesn't have control over his party. he has members in the congress who are willing to hold our economy hostage. they know that if we go over this cliff, we're going to go back into a recession. that last thing that our economy needs. so if they had taken the balanced field the president put on the talk where he would have been the first president to cut social security. it would have shored up confidence with businesses with the middle-class. it would have allowed us to start down doing meaning deficit reduction and it would have made sure the middle-class would not have a tax hike. >> the president has indicated a willingness to have that conversation but they said that was off the table. which is why it's not going to be final negotiation. the other point is, even with the new revenue the republicans have agreed to, this is how assinine this idea is, the president is not willing to commit the revenue to pin down the deficit. isn't the whole negotiation is by-product the debt talks from a year ago? isn't it supposed to

boehner, mr. boehner said here's $800 billion for revenue and what do i get for that? the president allegedly said, that's for free. that's not evidence 6 somebody who wants a deal who, wants to lead. >> eric: what would you like to see? >> i would like to see a clean deal. i would like to see something that fixes the problem. keep in mind, one of the things that frustrates me is that the fiscal cliff is getting all of this attention, when it's real. i don't want to diminish it. but it's a drop in the bucket. the tax increases that the president wants that represent 8 cents of every dollar of debt. we are not dealing with the overall problem. that's what i would like to see. something that brings as much attention to the $16 trillion debt, as it does to the relatively small tax increases. that's what i would like to see, the government dealing with the serious questions, not the immediately pressing questions? >> how do we deal with it? $16 trillion debt, projected to go up to $20 trillion over the next 2 years, if you are washington can't deal with that. how do you so
